A white separatist has caused outrage by building a 10-foot-tall Ku Klux Klan snowman in his Idaho yard.
The pointed-hood wearing, noose-holding, dark-eyed sculpture sat in front of Mark Eliseuson's Hayden home, just down the street from a local elementary school.
After complaints from neighbours and parents, law enforcement officers visited on Wednesday.
They told Eliseuson he could have been charged with creating a public nuisance and he removed the noose and took off snowman's head.

But Eliseuson told KXLY-TV of Spokane that he sees nothing wrong with the snowman the way it was.
In fact, he said that the snowman was initially smaller last week, but he rebuilt it taller when someone tried to knock it down.

Eliseuson has angered neighbours in the past by flying Aryan Nations flags and the flag of the Nazi SS at his home.
'I have every right to hang ‘em and fly ‘em,' Mark said of the flags in July to KXLY.
He said the flags were 'a little bit of white pride.'
At Halloween he passed out bullet casings after claiming he ran out of candy.
